Area code 917 covers all five boroughs of New York City and was the first overlay in the city, introduced in 1992 originally for mobile phones and pagers. The 917 prefix became closely associated with cellphones when the code was introduced, giving it a somewhat different brand association from the geographic landline codes. It now serves all types of lines across all five boroughs.
Across New York, the 917 area code serves roughly 6.7 million residents in 5 communities — including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, among others. Numbers in the 917 zone keep Easterntime, so a local line rings during your customers' business hours and shows a familiar NY caller ID on every outbound call.
917 was first introduced in 1992 as an overlay of the 212 area code, adding fresh numbering capacity to the same region without forcing anyone to change an existing number. Because an overlay shares geography with another code, ten-digit dialing is standard throughout the area. It remains an active overlay code today.
